Priming memory invokes seed stress-tolerance

TLDR
A hypothetical model illustrating the cellular physiology of priming-induced stress-tolerance is proposed, likely achieved via two strategies: first, seed priming sets in motion germination-related activities that facilitate the transition of quiescent dry seeds into germinating state and lead to improved germination potential, and secondly, priming imposes abiotic stress on seeds that represses radicle protrusion but stimulates stress responses.

Effects of seed priming with ABA and SA on seed germination and seedling growth of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) under saline condition

TL;DR: The results suggest a considerable ameliorative effect of ABA and/or SA seed pretreatment on germinability of sesame seeds under salinity but seedling growth may be retarded which is probably an acclimation and temporary response to salinity stress.

Pre-soaking in Weed Extracts is a Reasonable Approach to Mitigate Fusarium graminearum Infection in Wheat

TL;DR: Natural weed extracts as supplement to chemical antifungals can be safely employed to increase the growth rate and reconfigure the pathophysiological status of wheat seedlings by reducing the detrimental effects of F. graminearum infection.

Reactive oxygen gene network of plants

TL;DR: In Arabidopsis, a network of at least 152 genes is involved in managing the level of ROS, and this network is highly dynamic and redundant, and encodes ROS-scavenging and ROS-producing proteins.

An “Electronic Fluorescent Pictograph” Browser for Exploring and Analyzing Large-Scale Biological Data Sets

TL;DR: The eFP Browser software is easily adaptable to microarray or other large-scale data sets from any organism and thus should prove useful to a wide community for visualizing and interpreting these data sets for hypothesis generation.

What is seed water memory?

Seed water memory refers to the improved stress-tolerance of germinating seeds that have undergone seed priming, a pre-sowing treatment involving partial hydration of seeds.
